DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF TH~ INVENTION:
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ In figures l and 2, an outlet nozzle lO is mounted on a bottle 12 made oE flexible material such a8 plastic. The bottle 12 is adapted to contain a hair conditioning liquid which ~ ~ 3 ~
will Elow through the nozzle and when the bottle is substantially tilted as explained later. Tie nozz]e 10 comprises two portions 14 and 16 disposed at an angle with one another. The portion 14 extends from the bottle 12 at an angle relative to the longitud;nal axis 18 oE the bottle. The second portion 16 is directed toward~ the axis 18 and extends up to a location adjacent the axis 18. The nozzle 10 is preferably tapered from the bottle up to the upper tip o~ the nozzle.
The top end of the tubular member is provided Witl a dispensing tip 20 made of a pair of flat tooth-like projections 22 alld 24 facing each other in spaced relationship to form a fork or an arcllw~y. The upper portion 16 of the tubular member is provided with an aperture 26 at its top end extending between the tooth-like projections 22 and 24. Botll free ends 28 oE the archway are rounded to smoothly follow the contour of the scalp or the base oE the hair stems. The outlet nozzle 10 iq generally conlected to the bottle by a cap 30 which threadedly engages the open end of the bottle 12. The bottle 12 is preferably cylindrical but can also be made to taper in the direction of the nozzle lO to allow tlle liquid contained to completely flow toward tlle nozzle when the bottle is tilted.
The apex 32 of the tubular member slightly exceed~
outside the diameter of the bottle according to a preferred embodiment of the invention. Sucll an embodiment involves a bottle which has a diameter of about two inches so that it can be manipulated easily with the f;ngers of one hand and rotated about its axis 18 without the help oF the other hand. The lower portion 14 has a he;ght oi about two and a quarter inches while the total height oE the tubular member Up to the dispensing tip member 20 is about three inches. The height oE the tooth-like project;onq 22 and 24 is about half an inch projecting in the same direction as the port;on 16 of the tubular member and are spaced from each other by a d;stance corresponding to the lock oE
hair selected. Sucll a selection varies with the type, texture, and length of hair of the person on which the ha;r conditioning liquid is applied. A dispensing tip member 20 having tooth-like project;ons oE about llalf an inch are generally spaced by a distance oE about one quarter to five eight inch. For a tip member 20 hav;ng a lle;ght of about three eigllths of an inch, spacing Or tllree sixteenths to one quarter inch is sufficient.
For thin and æhort hfl;r, the length of the projections 22 and 24 may be selected at about three eighths of an inch and spaced by a distance oE three sixteenths oE an inch.
The dimension of the aperture 26 var;e~q nccording to the width between the projections 22 and 24 of the archway or fork 20. For instance, in the first mentioned embodiment, an aperture 26 of about one sixteenth of an inch has been found suitable. Correspondingly smaller apertures are selected Eor smaller archways. Considering that the projections 22 and 24 constitute Elat walls for the dispensing of the liquids, the ~ ~ 3 ~
aperture 26 is preferably elongated as shown in figure 6 to correspond to the plane oE the tootll-like projection6.
Figures 7 and 8 illustrate the new nozzle mounted on a flexible bottle in two different stages of the hair conditioning operation. As may be compared between figures 7 and 8, the mere rotation of the bottle about its longitud;nal axis by 180 represents a drastic cllAnge in the direction of the upper portion 16 of the nozzle. In f;gure 7, thi~q position is selected for applying the fluid on a substantially vertical lock 25 while in figure 8, the fluid is applied to A lock 27 which is considerably more horizontal than in figure 7. rhis means that without any motion of the arm and the elbow by the hairdresser, and only by a mallipulation of the fingers, it is possible to apply the fluid along variou~ part~s of the head.
~ urtllermore, the dispensing tip 20, forms nn arcllway which holds and guide~ a lock such as 25 and 27 on which the di~pellsing fluid coming from the throat of the archway will be npl)lied by compressing the bottle 12. It is pointed out that the bottle 12 could be any means which would be adapted to project the fluid in the direction of the nozzle according to the invention. A pistol-like member which would allow an easy manipulation and rotation of the nozzle could be substituted for the bottle.
In figure 8, the dispensing tip 20 operates in a ~fi~
similar manner as in figure 7 but glide~s along the arrow 36 which in(licates a direction substantially different than the one shown by the arrow 38 in figure 7. The embodiment shown in figure 2 illu~strates tlle upper portion 16 having an angle of twenty-one degree~s with the axis oE the bottle which means that when the bottle is twi~sted by 180 degrees, the diEEerence in the projecting angle will vary by forty-two degrees. In order to be able to move Erom the top oE tlle head down to the side of the head with the minimal movement of the arm, an angle of about fi~teen to twenty-f;ve degrees ;9 selected between the direction of the portion 16 and the axis 18.
A9 it may be seen from the illustration shown in f;gures 7 and 8, the apex 32 of the angle between portions 14 and 16 of the nozzle peojects outside of the axis 18 of the bottle so as to allow a better vision by the hairdresser on the locks of hair 25 and 27 whicll are being conditioned. With the dimensions such a~s identi~ied above, the apex 32 may be located at about one to one and a halE inche~ from the axis 18.
It is a1so preferred to maintain the di~pensing tip at such R location so as it recedes from the axis 18.
According to the dimensions of the nozzle identified above, a receding distance of about three-quarters of an inch has been foun(l particularly suitable.
The lower portion 14 of the nozzle 10 is ~ 0 3 ~
preferably curved to facilitate the flow of the liquid towards the dispen~ing tip 20. For an embodiment as identified above, the curve of the portion 14 may vary between two to four inches in radius.
The fluid applicator for llair conditioning according to the present invention is simple to contract, and easy to manipulate.
